:Data center operator Switch Inc said on Wednesday it would be taken private by digital infrastructure firm DigitalBridge Group Inc for $8.38 billion in cash.

A shift to hybrid working models and increasing usage of enterprise software during the pandemic has given a fillip to data center businesses, propping up investor interest in the sector.
